This and That...

At the Mason house, we have gone from this... ...to that...

Yes, the Christmas tree has officially been taken down and replaced with a toy box to hold all of the loot that Jaxon racked up on Christmas...



But before I took the tree down, I decided to take some pictures of some of my special ornaments and share them with you...


My dad painted this ornament for us this year.

My Mom gave me this mother/daughter willow tree angel ornament in 2004. 2004 was a very hard Christmas for our family...

Justin's brother and his wife gave us this ornament on our first Christmas, 2006.

I bought this pregnant ornament last year, because we were expecting our little boy. When I bought the ornament, Jaxon didn't have a name yet and he was referred to as Baby Mason...

This one is also from our first Christmas...

My best friends gave me this ornament in 2004. Written on it are the names of the girls that I grew up with, and that I will always refer to as some of the most special girls in my life...

This ornament is from 2005, the year that my husband proposed to me. It says "My Knight in Shining Armor" and has October 22, 2005 written on it.

I honestly cannot even remember who gave me this one, but it reminds me of each night, carrying J-man to bed. He's about that size now, and he wraps his arms and legs around me, and nothing feels better...

and we'll end with the Baby's 1st Christmas ornament...
Because he's so stinkin' cute!
